26/02/18: PC dead again (fixed for now)
7 years ago
Hey everyone, will keep it brief coz I'm on my phone; so in a day from hell for many, many reasons the icing on the cake, unless something else happens to rival it, is my computer has now died once again.
I think the problem is the hard drive with windows on it, based on what I'm reading, so hopefully I'll be able to get it back up and running soon; I actually made a backup of stuff like a half hour before this happened so nothing is lost I think, but still very annoying.
The problem as it stands now is, everything went black with the PC still on, and it rebooted with the little beep noise, to that flashing underscore that appears before the bios menu; it just stays there though, doesn't even move to the bios screen.
Typical eh? My apologies to anyone whose stuff like sketches and such are affected by this, I'll hopefully be able to get this back and online before too long.
Have a good day everyone, remember to save often and make backups!
EDIT: so unplugging it and looking at the hard drive connections seemed to do something, and the PC is working for now!
Taking this chance to further back up everything xD

FA+

I've changed the system hard drive and reinstalled windows.
And since that day i always have ubuntu installed for "emergency" case only.
It appears working now btw, writing to you on it, so fingers crossed I can at least get everything off the hard drive in case something happens again.
Thanks for the advice dude, I really appreciate it :)
